Bifid condyle is a rare developmental anomaly which may be unilateral or bilateral. Hrdlicka was the first to describe the anomaly in 1941. It is characterized by the duplicity of the head of the mandibular condyle; thus it is also known as double-headed condyle and it may be associated with a variety of symptoms1. The etiology and pathogenesis is not yet clear but it is generally considered to be developmental. It is generally associated with trauma. Other possible factors includes an obstructed blood supply or other embryopathy, developmental anomalies, condylar fracture, perinatal trauma and surgical condylectomy2.Generally, the condition is asymptomatic and is diagnosed as an incidental finding on radiographic examination. Some patients may complaint of pain and discomfort. Due to the invention of newer imaging modalities, the frequency of diagnosing such rare conditions has been increased. The purpose of this article is to report a case of asymptomatic bilateral bifid condyle and also to make an attempt to add an asymptomatic case of bilateral bifid condyle in the literature.
